You seldom talk anybody out of his position by arguing directly with their premises and inference
During this interactive session you will be taking a first step in learning how to apply Solution Focus (=SF). SF is a goal oriented and appreciative approach dealing with change, solutions and complexity.
Building solutions is central, instead of getting rid of problems.
In our interaction the focus often goes to finding the cause of a problem. Frequently, this is a detailed problem analysis, not bringing us much further towards a solution. There is a lot of time and energy spent on the ‘why’ and on what and who contributed to creating or maintaining the problem.
Solution focused discussions are different. They look for what is already working for individual people, teams or whole organisations. They explore how the desired future looks like without a problem. They pay attention to progress people make. Concrete next steps for growth are found quicker and easier.
You will be able to apply what you have learned and improved as of the first day after this teaser session. Whether it is in the interaction with your boss, peers, co-workers or in the private sphere.
These are a number of learnings for participants:
Peter has successfully facilitated a day for our team of Directors. Applying Solution Focus and other useful tools, the sessions have proven to be very interactive and relevant for all team members. I would like to recommend Peter as a strong team coach with a very good eye for the process and team dynamics and with attention for every team member participating.
